For those who don’t know much about Seth McFarlane, I will give you a little background knowledge. This ghost created two cartoon spoofs that are well-known in the U.S. and the American Daddy. They are all spitting, humorous, and nonchalant. The style of the lower limit has been out for about ten seasons. They are all part-time screenwriters and directors with dubbing, and he has dubbed several main characters alone, and I really can’t hear what I don’t know! His cartoons have also appeared in a few episodes of theatrical version, spoofing Star Wars and so on. As for the "Teddy Bear" he directed, it is natural that the scriptwriter and director will come in person.
Compared with "Teddy Bear", this film is closer to McFarlane's usual animation style: silly jokes bombarded with words instead of actions, and even the transitions are used in his cartoon transitions. Similar music used. In the first third of the story, when the plot was relatively slow, we even forgot that it was a movie. It felt like McFarland traveled to the era of the Western Development. As a tour guide, we showed us the documentary of the backward Great Western. Where did he go? Just spit it out; even the title of the movie doesn't look like a drama but a documentary!
However, this long film of more than two hours doesn't make me pee. The cast alone is luxurious enough: the two big beauties of Theron Goddess and Amanda Xiaohuadan make McFarlane sure to have enough YY addiction. Schindler’s list of Liam Neeson’s villain acting skills calm the audience, the male protagonist’s friend It was Phoebe’s younger brother in Friends. Uncle Barney was so tall. The Green Lantern’s handsome face was shot as soon as he flashed. The Big Bang Penny looks fat in traditional clothes. There is also jamie fox at the end of the movie. The handsome cameo appearances are really pleasant surprises.
I have nothing to complain about the plot. In fact, the whole film is developed around the most famous duel culture in the west. The bad guy's duel is the end of the play, but after all, every time is not a duel in the classic sense, because every time the cards are played out according to the rules. This is an anti-genre film in itself. Who is McFarlane, do you really expect him to make a movie of "Noon" to show you?
The interspersed elements are also rich enough. The gold rush, Chinese laborers, black slaves, Indians, barn dances, weekend markets, photography, backward medical skills, tavern fights, villains, prostitutes, etc. are all in various forms. Used to ridicule and present. The protagonist gets high as soon as he takes drugs. Later, when he has hallucinations, he also makes a bunch of CG special effects hallucinations. I don't know why I think of Dayu.
The film also paid tribute to "Back to the Future", but in fact, I was a little bit disappointed when I saw that it was just a tribute and didn't really include him in the plot. And I must pay tribute to countless westerns that I haven't watched. Forgive me for my ignorance, the candidates in my heart are Red Dead Redemption, The Good, the Good and Noon, etc. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any of them. Hahahaha, let's all despise me.
In short, this is a fun and relaxing anti-type film. It’s been a long time since I followed up with the family guy. After all, watching the nine or ten seasons is a bit aesthetically tired. I am still very happy to watch McFarland’s own live performance. I hope everyone can be happy.
